[Shovel vs. Spade] Most people only care for them selves and plows else things aside—– “Scientists tend to be…Utopian in temperament–to believe in the possibility in principle, perhaps even in fact, of a different and altogether better world. The great days of Utopian thinking were the days when voyages of discovery on the earth’s surface had the same significance as space travel has today. The old Utopias–New Atlantis, Christianopolis and the City of the Sun–were faraway contemporary societies, but the Utopias men dream of today lie in the distant future or on a planet of a distant faraway sun. Arcadian thinking looks not forward nor far away but backward to a golden age that could yet return. Arcadia is a world of innocence not yet corrupted by ambition and inquiry, a world of pious acquiescence in the established order of things, without strife http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/29/Schlehe1.jpg“>sloe flowersand without ambition–a world of ‘truth and honest living.’ Milton, whom I quote, saw it as the purpose of education ‘to repair the ruins of our first parents,’ to return to the happy innocence of the world before the Fall.”

Peter B. Medawar (1915-1987). British immunologist. Advice to a Young Scientist (1979).

Lyrics:
I went to a garden party
to reminisce with my old friends
A chance to share old memories
and play our songs again
When I got to the garden party,
they all knew my name
No one recognized me,
I didn’t look the same

But it’s all right now,
I learned my lesson well.
See you can’t please everyone
so you got to please yourself
…peace out…fresh onions I pick today

Marina, Well no wonder no dirt was evident under your finger nails, you had a shower in your garden. Great idea. I suspect the tank above heated the water from the sunlight? But, how did the water get into the tank? Did you wear flowers in your hair?, too? A Cowsills tune.

Marina getting dirt under her finger nails? I’ve got to see a picture of this to believe it! But, I like the idea, as gardening is a fruitful activity. Time to get ready to plant! Happy first day of spring.

That’s an [ambitextural] statement!

Reading between the lines, my – not quite as cryptic – reply is:

I’m not flexible enough. Although, I hear yoga practitioners have developed a method. Ultimately, it’s a fruitless occupation.
